I read through the 24 page handout. I like a lot of what he teaches. He seems to have done a good job of combining info from a variety of sources. I say that because some of his terminology sounds very familar to me.
I like page 6. It's not new, but it's an important reminder of the key positions that hitters need to pass through.
The two bullet points on Page 8; Weight shift into back leg and Torso turn, makes me think he understands how to create a bind in the back hip to maintain balance duing the stride.
On page 10 he makes an important point about having an Equal Bend in Knees at heel plant. MLB hitters are really good at doing this and getting themselves into a balanced position as they launch their swings. Being balanced during swing launch is a big key to getting on plane of the pitch.
On page 12 he makes a favorite point of mine. Which is the Elbows Work Independently. I do not believe this move is well understood in FP yet. Certainly no one in my area is teaching it or is even remotely aware of it. IMO this is the key to getting the hands flat quickly and hitting in a BIG ZONE. I kind of like his description that says The Back Elbow Initiates Swing & Picks Up Front Elbow.
I would like to get a clarification on the bullet point on page 13 that says Front Hip is Axis for Rotation. If he means this literally in terms of the front hip acting as a hinged gate swinging on a post, it would not hold up under video analysis.
Overall, good stuff.
